About the book
Burdened by eyes that reveal her emotions, branded by a
birthmark that spells out her name, and gifted with strength heightened by
inhuman capabilities, Kiara Fable has always suspected a veiled aspect of her
life—what she failed to notice was the truth of her past lurking in the
shadows, disastrously unraveling the normalcy of her future. Kiara’s dreary
life with her adoptive family in a small, isolated village in the heart of the
mystical world Menevilen is abruptly shattered the day she is rescued from an
attempted assassination by the charming and intimidating Avian Knight.
According to him, royal blood native to the kingdom of Enevale flows through
Kiara’s veins—the same blood her maniacal, magic-wielding aunt, Vyntrx, will do
virtually anything to spill. Thrust in the midst of a century-old blood-feud
between the Evalseman and Nonae races, Kiara must ultimately betray half of her
heritage and choose to defend a side of the rivalry. Faced with a war she may
not be capable of winning, the presence of a traitor hiding amid the darkness
of distrust, the bittersweet venom of love’s merciless sting, and more
precarious escapades than she thought imaginable, Kiara fears her new world may
be utterly forsaken.
Intrigued? Here is a look inside the book
After Avian had prepared the makeshift campsite beside
the glowing fire, Kain wrapped himself in a blanket and succumbed to slumber
almost instantly. Avian reclined against the harsh bark of a tree, his eyes
scanning the forest as his thoughts whirred. He heard Kiara shuffling closer to
him and chided his heartbeat for accelerating from the mere reminder of her
presence.
“See anything?” she whispered.
“No,” he muttered. “You should get
some rest.”
She sighed, folding her legs against
her chest and staring at Avian through the shadows. “My head feels like it’s on
fire,” she said slowly. “When I look at you, when I’m near you, my body swirls
and spins with confusion. A voice inside my head tells me to push you away, to
distance myself from you—but a small part of me just wants to break down and
sob. Why do I feel that way, Avian? Why have my emotions changed so much?”
He glanced away, his eyes locked on
the lightless distance as tears slid down his cheeks. A lump of guilt rose in
his throat as desolation smothered his heart. “Maybe someone out there just
doesn’t want us to be together,” he choked.
His suggestion issued a wave of conflicting
emotion to stir in the pit of her stomach. She bit her lip, urging the
sensation to pass—but it only grew stronger. “I’m not sure what to say,” she
admitted.
“There’s something I want you to know
and never forget,” he spoke softly, his voice quavering. He refused to glance
at her and allow her to see his tear-streaked face. “Regardless of what
happens.”
She furrowed her brow in confusion,
attempting to discern his figure through the oppressive shadows. The gleam of
the fire highlighted his body in an orange outline, but his face was
deliberately turned from hers and even if he had been staring directly at her,
she would not have been able to read his expression through the darkness. “What
is it?”
He was silent for several seconds. In
the distance, a bird squawked plaintively as though it had been attacked by a
predator. “I love you,” he declared. “I’ll always love you.”
